Documentation
Definition
The country key contains information which the system uses to check entries such as the length of the postal code or bank account number.
The two-character ISO code in accordance with ISO 3166, which is delivered by SAP as a default, is usually used.
It could also be the vehicle license plate country-code or a typical country key, for example, in Germany the Federal statistics office key.
The country keys are determined at system installation in the global settings.
The definition of the country key in the SAP system does not have to match political or government entities.
Since the country key does not have to correspond to the ISO code in all installations, programs that differ according to certain values of the country key cannot query the country key T005-LAND1, but have to program based on the ISO code T005 INTCA.

Travel data capture: Country in which the traveller is staying.
Notes
Field changes
This field can be changed at day level.
Time independence
You can define this field time-independently in the cost center accounting customizing menu item 'Master data'.
- If you activate the time-dependence flag in the customizing, you can maintain different field contents for any period.
- If you do not activate the customizing flag, you can only maintain one field value which is valid for all periods. There is, however, an indirect time-dependence, if you simultaneously change a time-dependent field. A new field value can be entered for the time-independent field for the validity interval of the time-dependent field.

The first two characters of the VAT registration number contain the ISO code of the reporting country. Note that you enter a corresponding country key in the "Country" field. This can also be the ISO code if you use the ISO code as the country key in the system.
